Fulcrum Wheels, Rims and Hubs

A guide to the Fulrum Racing Wheel range

Fulcrum are well known for their range of road racing wheels, ranging all the way from entry level up to highly sophisticated performance wheels for top competition use. There are seven wheels in the basic range, with two of them having extra two-way fit capability for using tubeless tyres, which are becoming increasingly important at top levels.

We have shown the price ranges for each wheelset, so you can select the right wheel for your budget and requirements. As with most racing wheels, the lighter you get while retaining strength and rigidity, the more you pay.

We have also described the key features that make each wheel different from the others; many of these are incremental increases in the use of technology that Fulcrum has researched in the development and design of its wheels. The basic types of technology are also described here.
